Praise

I want to endorse with great pride Donna Mosher’s writing skill set and her management ability with a book she helped my co-author and me publish about divided government and split-ticket voting trends in the U.S. The material was complicated: Donna interviewed almost 200 Gallup Poll respondents; she then transcribed and edited all the many responses. She also conceptualized the many seminar discussions between the authors that structured the core themes in the book. Her name appears on the cover of our book because she earned it with her considerable skills. We could not have published this book without her.

Make a Plan: Possibility and Empowerment in a Time of AIDS

By David Patient and Donna Mosher

David Patient continues to be a source of inspiration and knowledge to people living with HIV across the globe. David is well known throughout southern Africa for education and wellness programs addressing HIV and AIDS. His work with partner Neil Orr has gone beyond teaching people how to get and stay healthy.  David and Neil have taught millions that the path to long-term health is best traveled through living a life of purpose and meaning.

They have published numerous important works on HIV and health. Their book Positive Health has sold 20 million copies and is an essential, practical tool for people affected by or infected with HIV. They have trained tens of thousands in workshops and reached millions through popular broadcast media programs.

In this book, Make a Plan – Possibility and Empowerment in a Time of AIDS, David shares his twenty years of experience, from his early days smuggling HIV drugs from the United States to South Africa to working with diverse groups, including the Maasai in the Serengeti, impoverished communities throughout South Africa, employees in the casino industry, community leaders in Mozambique, Peace Corps volunteers, and more.

This book shares David’s and Neil’s techniques through inspiring stories of those who took what they learned and not only regained their health but were empowered to create successful, purposeful, meaningful lives for themselves and their families. This inspiring information can be implemented in health and empowerment programs everywhere.

Working with Donna has been a sheer delight. The ease at which she digs a little deeper, probing without being invasive; her profound insights and her compassion have made working with her a highlight in my career. She made capturing our memoirs a wonderful experience. I have enjoyed the whole process, and I hope that we can collaborate on other works in the future. – David Patient

The Come’ere

From Wales to Chincoteague Island

A Year on the Tump

Both by Daniel P.T. Thomas

Dan Thomas wrote first a memoir of his youth in British boarding schools and brushing shoulders with the Royal Family to his eventual arrival as a “com-ere” to Chincoteague Island in Virginia. For this book, I served as his coach. His second book, which I edited, offers the reader a close look at the treasures of that island, known to locals as “the Tump.” Both are brilliantly written and sweetly illustrated by the author.

My wonderful editor, Donna Mosher, worked tirelessly with me to craft and shape my story for publication. I can’t thank you enough for your caring, well-considered critiques and suggestions for improvement. – Daniel P.T. Thomas

Prime Mischief

A story of Two Siblings, Two Cats, and Four Very Naughty Chickens
by Kiera Gray

Fourteen-year-old Kiera Gray asked me for coaching and editing of her first book. She worked hard for a year, and now she has what I’m sure will be a young adult best seller! It is clever, original, and simply delightful. Oh, and it is, as they say, “based on a true story.” Because Kiera raises and trains chickens. So if any hen can learn to write—and order their own goodies online—it would be Kiera’s!

I’m not sure where to start with my gratitude to my fantastic editor, Donna Mosher, for her amazing editing skills, ideas, help, encouragement, coaching, and constant excitement for my book. – Kiera Gray

Prescription Detox: How Our Allegiance to Big Pharma Makes Us Sicker and How You Can Heal Without Meds

by Cheryl Winter, MS APRN, FNP-BC, MS RDN, CDE

  • Health doesn’t come in a bottle
  • Illness isn’t a deficiency of [Insert Drug Name Here]
  • Food and natural remedies can prevent and reverse chronic disease

Prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. and Europe, after heart disease and cancer. The only way to halt this tailspin into chronic illness is to stop treating symptoms and address the underlying cause of the chronic disease.

In Prescription Detox, Cheryl Winter guides you through the ABCs of regaining your health without medication.

Cheryl Winter is a trained, licensed, board-certified family nurse practitioner, which means she is a legalized drug pusher. After years of watching her patients take pharmaceutical medication and only get sicker, she returned to her roots as a registered dietitian nutritionist to teach people to get healthy. Now, as a certified diabetes educator and a functional medicine certified practitioner, she helps clients reverse and eliminate chronic disease without the use of drugs. Her mantra is inspired by Hippocrates: Let food by thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

An absolute “must read” for those who want to take charge of their own health – naturally.  With Cheryl Winter as your guide, your family, friends, and loved ones will be able to navigate major health challenges by searching for the underlying root cause without resorting to toxic drugs to suppress symptoms. Brilliant!! – Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S.New York Times bestselling author of over 30 books on detox, health, and healing

It was an absolute joy to work with Donna Mosher in editing my book, PRESCRIPTION DETOX: How Our Allegiance to Big Pharma Makes Us Sicker and How You Can Heal Without Meds.

I knew after the very first call I had with Donna that she was the editor I wanted to work with. She took a personal interest in my book’s topic and helped me fill in the missing pieces while providing constant positive, professional feedback with helpful and amazing tips along the way. For me, a first-time author, Donna made the process so easy and manageable, and her dedication to my project far exceeded my expectations. I have always considered myself a fairly good writer, but Donna was able to make my words so much clearer and more succinct, with even more depth. She truly made my work shine.

I cannot be happier with the results of my book, thanks to this amazing experienced professional who over-delivered every step of the way with her time and talents. I look forward to working with Donna again on many more future projects. – Cheryl Winter, MS APRN, FNP-BC, MS RDN, CDE

Passing the Test of Faith

The Rewards for Trusting God and Three Fundamental Steps for Walking Through Trials, Adversities, and Hardships

By Eddie L. Johnson, Jr.

As a new writer, I did not know what to expect once my manuscript was ready for an editor. I read many articles and saw many resources with names of good editors. However, for some reason, they missed an important name, Donna Mosher.

I do believe all things happen for a reason, and how I met Donna as my editor had a reason. Donna edited my manuscript with absolute professionalism and was immediately available when I needed her. Donna challenged me with questions about my writing, which opened up my thinking so that my book could be impactful to everyone.

With much gratitude, thank you, Donna, for going above and beyond yourself as an editor and partnering with me as a new writer. – Eddie L. Johnson, Jr.

Healing with Essential Oils: How to Use Them to Enhance Sleep, Digestion, and Detoxification while Reducing Stress and Inflammation

By Jodi Sternoff Cohen, NTP

The Pantry Principle: How to Read the Label and Understand What’s Really in Your Food

By Mira Dessy, NE

From the days of hunter-gathers to modern shoppers attempting to decipher the complexity of products on food shelves today, the way we procure our food has changed dramatically. But our need for proper nourishment remains the same. Processed food, fast food, adulterated, and chemically enhanced foods make navigating the stocking of our pantries with healthy foods a truly mystifying chore. Many of us don’t know where this food comes from, and we don’t know what’s really in it. Most people who walk into a grocery store think that all of the edible-appearing products on the shelves are food. The truth is that many of them are not! Many of these items contain ingredients that have the potential to be harmful. Even though legislation generally protects us against illegal food substances, evidence is showing many items to be either unsafe or at the very least not nutritious or healthful food options. We are seduced by the pretty pictures on the box or the marketing claims by the manufacturer. We don’t really know what’s in our food, trusting that if they are selling it we can eat it. This book will help you take back control of your pantry and your food source. You will discover those items that are not contributing nutrition value and perhaps detracting from your health and that of your loved ones. You will learn how to stock your pantry with the healthiest choices available.

Donna is detail oriented, highly organized, and a great communicator. Full of ideas, energy, and enthusiasm, she has provided excellent support and recommendations to help me grow my business. – Mira Dessy, NE

How to Avoid Home Remodeling Hell: Your Stress-Free Blueprint to New Home Construction or Home Remodeling Success

I had finished the first draft on my first book and Donna was recommended to me by a colleague to do the editing.  I really didn’t know much about editing or how it worked.  Donna did a wonderful job.  She explained the process to me and what I should expect.  Donna took the mess that I called a rough draft and not only edited it, but rewrote parts to make me sound better than I am.  It was such an easy process working with her because I let her do what she does best and I focused on the message of the book.  We went through one major editing and a couple of minor ones.  The process was very quick and reasonably priced. I cannot say enough about Donna’s work and would recommend her highly to anyone. – Michael Smith, architect
